None that i've encountered at all. the only gripe is it taking around 30secs to boot up. BUT, i've never had to shut it down since, so i'm guessing that was just the first boot-up it ever had

Still, not exactly a major problem now is it? lol

Some people report dust getting in the joystick stopping it working. A clean sorts it out, but i've not had 1 problem with mine.

I even dropped mine onto ceramic tiles and it survived!

Spitfire · 23-09-2006, 17:31

Nope.

Lol. What network and how much did you pay?

On Virgin and i paid Ã‚Â£79.99 after a Ã‚Â£40 discount due to using Ã‚Â£400 credit in a yer (eek!) then they gave me Ã‚Â£30 credit free as well.

I'm looking at getting it flashed and unlocked to a W800i.

Heres the flash presentation for the K750i.

Thanks. Yeah, That's the next phone I'll purchase.

There's the Sony Ericsson W800i on Vodafone PAYG. Ã‚Â£149.99 and if you buy on The Link website, type in the code "GET10" and you get Ã‚Â£15 off! So, It'll come to Ã‚Â£134.99. I think I'll purchase that one. It's the same as the K750i but, comes with the new software and the 512mb memory card.

BTW, Can you unlock the W800i and the K750i?

The k750i and w800i are essentially the same phone, except for cases and firmware. So, all the features on the k750i are present on the w800i, including the brill cam

The w800i and k750i can be unlocked, but only via firmware flashing which then erases the stuff that whatever company you bought ti form put on it. For example, a special game that only the supplier offers. Basically you lose all data.

To get mine unlocked in Donny is a tenner, to get it flashed upto a w800i is Ã‚Â£25 for some reason. Same process as well.

Spitfire · 23-09-2006, 19:35

So, getting flashed is better than unlocked?

Druchii · 23-09-2006, 19:39

They are one and the same really.

If you plan on getting a w800i then a simple flash of firmware (to one that isn't locked to a certain network) is all that's required. Usually a tenner

If you're planning on still going with the k750i but still want the functionality of the w800i you need to get the firmware flashed (to one that isn't locked to a certain netork, and also, the firmware for a w800i). Around here that costs around Ã‚Â£25 to do.

I'd say go for the w800i, much much easier to find someone who can unlock a w800i, than finding somoene who can flash a k750i upto a w800i.

I hope you understand this post, kind of a mess

Spitfire · 23-09-2006, 19:40

Lol. One thing, on the K750i can you listen to your music while writing a text or something like that?

Druchii · 23-09-2006, 19:41

Also, if you buy the w800i it comes with a 512mb card as standard as you said earlier

Which is better than the k750i's 64mb one

Yep, that's perfectly possible, did you understand my last post (the long one) :S

Spitfire · 23-09-2006, 19:42

Yes, I did.

Thank you. I think I'll purchase the K750i, it's cheaper and well, I'm not a big music listener so, It'll do me fine.

Thanks for all your help guys!

No problem, you'll not be disappointed at what it can do
